As much as I love going to eat at a good steakhouse, I definitely prefer to eat steaks cooked at home on our grill. There is just something about being able to season and grill the steaks on our charcoal grill that really puts them over the top!

Since we love to grill steaks at home, I am always on the hunt for new and flavorful marinades. We have been using this Master Steak Marinade for the past few weeks and we LOVE it! It is seriously delicious.

The best part is that this marinade uses simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. You can whisk up the marinade and refrigerate it until you are ready to cook the steaks. It will keep for several weeks refrigerated in a air-tight container.

I like to let the steaks marinate all day in the refrigerator. I put the steaks in a gallon ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them and pop them in the fridge before breakfast. If you don't have all day, try and let them marinate at least 30 minutes. I subscribe to the "longer the better" philosophy when it comes to marinating meats.

This Master Steak Marinade would be perfect when you fire up the grill for Labor Day or tailgating this fall! Give it a try! I promise you will love it!

Doritos Chicken Taco Salad - you can't beat Doritos for dinner!!! Use a rotisserie chicken and this salad comes together in minutes! Great for a crowd! Just put a bowl out and let everyone graze! Chicken, corn, lettuce, black beans, taco seasoning, tomatoes, catalina dressing, ranch dressing and Doritos. SO good!! We never have any leftovers!

Anytime I can eat Doritos for dinner, I am game! This Doritos Chicken Taco Salad is a favorite. We make a beef version (Doritos Taco Salad). I love the original Doritos Taco Salad, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this chicken version!! I mean, I am the Plain Chicken after all.

I used a rotisserie chicken for the cooked chicken in this Doritos Chicken Taco Salad and it came together in minutes. If you want to make this ahead of time, I would chop everything and then toss in the dressing and Doritos just before serving. This is great for a crowd! It would be perfect for watching all the big football games coming up. Just set a big bowl of this Doritos Chicken Taco Salad out and let people graze during the game.

So simple and they taste AMAZING!! Just dump everything in the slow cooker and let it work its magic! Fresh green beans, red onion, lemon, tomatoes, garlic, chicken broth, salt and pepper.

Green beans are a favorite in our house. These Slow Cooker Southern Green Beans are no exception. I especially love that I can just throw everything in the slow cooker and we have green beans for the week. This recipe makes a lot of green beans, especially for just two people. I love to make a batch on Sunday and portion the beans out for the week. We eat these Slow Cooker Southern Green Beans for lunch and dinner throughout the week.

These Slow Cooker Southern Green Beans are super easy to make. The hardest part about making this recipe is slicing the onion! Everything else is just dump it in the slow cooker and walk away.
